The inglorious battle on waste is increasingly focused on how to dispose of or recycle the masses of plastic, metal, glass, rock, wet and dry, but rarely reads anything it's about how to reduce the production of future rumenta upstream. I mean, you can reduce a priori the garbage? No longer optimize the disposal, but significantly reduce production. There are unnecessarily waste we produce? We can avoid keeping the same quality of service?
A bit 'of examples of situations avoided because diverted and deviant from any citizen:
Food fresh takeaway in trays or plastic packaging of snacks, preserved in cans, PET or glass beverage , plastic bags for fruits and vegetables, packaged detergents, filled packaging paper or plastic (think for example of the plastic shapes contained in cardboard boxes for any small appliance) ... See, all this can be limited? Some ideas that come to mind are, for example, the MADE: I buy water to 1 Pet € against € 0.25 today and I will return 0, 75 € if the port back empty prohibit the take away as it is understood now, but make it feasible if the client brings a container (reusable of course) suitable for vacuum or ATM at the shop, encouraging the sale of bulk food in disposable containers (glass containers or directly provided by the customer, maybe buy or rent directly from the seller) to prevent the stored tin, selling the same way as detergents or drink ...
imagine going into a supermarket one lane of glass containers can be purchased or rented, and several lanes of tanks Dixan, ACE, Bio Presto, Scianteclear, but also huge containers of beans, pasta, tuna or coca cola, wine or beer. Everyone buys what he wants, but fills only putting their own containers from home or leased by the seller.
's just a matter of habits and interests. Please do not tell me that it would be a slam door containers from home, because: 1) your laziness can not and must not cause pollution, 2) you can arrange with a gap to make, or perhaps with space for organized containers to store personal property in a manner that when an emergency has its own container at hand ...
For the citizen would be all the better. Think of the savings: if you buy goods which do not pay more than the package (savings), then decreases the transportation cost (savings) of the asset and the cost of storage (savings) (think about how many bottles are on the shelf and how many liters instead in a tank), decreases the amount of rubbish they produce (savings) (lower taxes, lower cost of collection, management and disposal) and above pollute less.
Who is it that we lose and then, those interested in maintaining the situation as it is now? Well simple ... those who produce plastic, polycarbonate or pet! And who are they? The oil. But it going?
